cobs to see how many eggs had been
laid on them. Every time he went
near the tree the bugs, if any were on
it. all dropped to the ground Every
time the wind blew through the whisk
ers of these cobs, they ratified against
the branches. the bugs dropped, etc.,
etc., and the result was that no decent
bug would lay her eggs in the fruit OF
tree that was continually being sub
jected to rash disturbances. With the
result that particular tree matured
an enormous crop of plums, and our
public benefactor spread the glad It'd
lngs broadcast over the world. But if
our good friend had corn cobbed ever
fruit tree in his county thoroughly and
visited them all regularly every day,
The result would have been different.
For the would be mothers of curculios
would have soon got used to the racket,
and finding all trees in the same con-
dtion, and the proper laying of her
eggs in suitable place for them to de-
velop being public and private duty
impossible for her to shirk, she would
have stoically accepted the situation
aud have laid her eggs any way corn
cobs or no corn cobs. racket or no rack
ct.
Such | think is complete explain
ton Of the reason why Of the most silly
of all the different supposed ways OF
protecting fruits from the ravages Of
the plum curculio got its start. What
kind of brain the man had who thought
The bug would never lay her eggs in
the little green, round slick pIums so
long as she was furnished with great
org rough sweetened corn-cobs in
which to lay them, do no propose to
Explain. One sample is enough, for
hey are all alike each and every one
IT them. The man who will throw
lime, or ashes, Oh dust, or brick bats or
pumpkins into plum tree three tim e.
day from the tenth of May to the
zenith of July will get fruit from that
tree, if he does not knock it off with the
oumpkins. Or, it he scares the bugs
away by smoking it regularly with coal
ar, tobacco, etc., or if he goes to the
tree regularly three times day and
hangs on to it while he sneezes. or, il
he will tie cord to it and stretch it
tightly and tie it to gate post against
which gate slams many times day.
All of these supposed remedies hinge
on the peculiarly of the insect when
disturbed, in dropping to the ground
and not usually again reaching the tree,
from which she dropped. There are
just three ways Of protecting our fruits
from the plum curculio. They are by
spraying the trees with poisons two to
tour times from the time the buds be-
lin to swell until the first Of July. BY
Earring the insects from the trees onto
sheets or inverted umbrella like con.
trivances and then destroying them and
as think and feel that my experience
has proven, planting enough of the ma
tive plums in which they do not breed,
and they breed in very few of them, for
them to lay all or nearly all of their
eggs in. For they seem to prefer these
plums to all other fruits in which to lay
their eggs, or, perhaps rather they are
attracted to these plums by their very
early and very fragrant bloom. And
when once on them remain and lay
their eggs. D B. w TER.

that must necessarily be finally adopted.
IT is currently known that the testi-

was based uEol the witness own idea
of purity. The subsequent conduct of
the witness proves this to have been the
case.
Mr.. JOHN PINeoCK was obtaining
